Keep those sanitation stickers stuck on cars that block the street-sweepers, New York City voters
say 60 - 35 percent, including 57 - 41 percent among voters who park on the street, according to
a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Support for the yellow stickers ranges from 56 - 40 percent each in Brooklyn and The
Bronx to 66 - 26 percent in Manhattan, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack)
University poll finds. Men are stuck on the stickers 63 - 33 percent while women want them
57 - 37 percent. There is little partisan difference.

"Those sticky hard-to-scrape-off-the-windshield 'Scarlet Letters' meant to shame the
owners of cars blocking the street-sweeper? Keep 'em, most New Yorkers say," said Maurice
Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "Even voters who park on the
street and do the Alternate Side Parking dance are stuck on the stickers by a wide margin."

New York City voters support creation of Atlantic City-style casinos in the state 54 - 37
percent, but support by only 50 - 41 percent amending the State Constitution, which is needed to
bring in full casinos.

There are gender and racial gaps on the Constitutional Amendment question:

Men support it 56 - 38 percent, compared to women, who split 46 - 44 percent;

Support ranges from a 46 - 46 percent split among Brooklyn voters to 56 - 35 percent in
Queens. Support drops as income rises, from 54 - 36 percent among those making less than
$30,000 to 48 - 48 percent among those making more than $100,000.

New York City voters support 57 - 33 percent a proposal to build the world's largest
convention center, plus an Atlantic City-style casino at Aqueduct Race Track. Support ranges
from 52 - 40 percent in Manhattan to 62 - 30 percent in Queens.

Despite claims that the convention center will be built with private sector funds, voters
believe 48 - 39 percent that it "would end up costing the government a lot of money."

Voters agree 68 - 23 percent that the convention center would be good for New York
State's economy. There is strong agreement among all groups.

"Gov. Andrew Cuomo's plan for a super-convention center at Aqueduct Race Track wins
support. New Yorkers do worry that it might cost the government money, but they think it will
be good for the economy," Carroll said.

Voters approve 62 - 30 percent, including 46 - 41 percent among black voters, of the job
New York police are doing. Support ranges from 49 - 40 percent in The Bronx to 68 - 25
percent in Staten Island.

The NYPD has been effective combating terrorism, voters say 77 - 16 percent. There is
strong support among all groups.

"Despite a wave of criticism and calls for his resignation, support for Police
Commissioner Ray Kelly remains strong," Carroll said. "New Yorkers say cops are doing a good
job, especially fighting terrorism, and reject 2-1 the claim that cops pick on Muslims."

From January 30 - February 5, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,222 New York City
voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and
cell phones.
